What a fantastic and inspiring conversation between and at « Book Lab » last night! A powerful and honest insight into how our Science text books are out-dated and many preconceptions of the behaviour of females in the animal kingdom needs to be discussed and explored much, much further.
Truly brilliant!

🎆Rangoli design competition🎆
Are you making a rangoli at home this Diwali? Share it with us in the comments and win a family membership at Burgh House. The winners will be contacted via social media on Monday 16th November.
A Rangoli is a colourful design made on the floor using coloured rice powder, coloured sand or flower petals. It is often used by Hindus throughout Diwali. The purpose of rangoli is to feel strength, generosity, and it is thought to bring good luck. In maths, Rangoli patterns are a creative way to discover symmetry, reflection and tessellation.
Watch this video by rangoli artist Poonam Borkar for more techniques.
